“…The findings of the present study show that the Rh-negative blood group among pregnant women delivered at BHUTH was 6.4% [95% CI: 1.83, 10.98]. This finding is consistent with a study conducted in Nigeria of 6% in Nigeria, 16 7% from Woleita Sodo 18 and 7.2% from Jimma. 19 This finding was lower than a study conducted in Turkey showing that the prevalence was 10.4% negative, 28 7.94% in the Silte zone, 29 and 8.8% from Mekelle.…”

Background: Rh incompatibility has been an important cause of severe neonatal hyperbilirubinemia, hydrops fetalis, and stillbirth. Among those outcomes, neonatal jaundice is the most common problem. Objective: The study is assessed the prevalence of Rhesus (Rh) negativity and neonatal outcomes among pregnant women who delivered at Bule Hora University Teaching Hospital over a 5-year period from January 2017 to December 31, 2022. Methods: A retrospective study was conducted on 110 women who delivered at Bule Hora University Teaching Hospital (BHUTH) from January 2017 to December 31, 2021. The complete data of the mother’s and neonates’ status were extracted from the registration book of the hospital using checklists. The data were double entered using EpiData version 3 and exported to the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 26 for analysis. Descriptive statistics to determine prevalence and frequencies were used to describe the study population in relation to relevant variables, and the results are presented in tables and charts. Results: The study shows that the prevalence of Rh D-negative among women who delivered was 6.4% [95% CI: 1.83,10.98]. Among Rh-negative women, 1 (25%) of blood group AB, 3 (6.5%) of blood group O, and 2 (6.1%) of blood group A were Rh-D negative. The distributions of O, A, B, and AB blood groups among pregnant women who delivered this hospital were 41.8%, 30%, 24.6%, and 3.6%, respectively. Out of neonates born to Rh-negative women, 1 (14.3%) was born with jaundice. Of women who delivered at BHUT hospital, 61 (55.5%) did not have a previous delivery, 7 (6.4%) had a previous abortion, 5 (4.5%) stillbirth, 1 (0.9) died after birth, 4 (3.6%) had a birth child weight less than 2.6 kg. Conclusion: The study revealed that the prevalence of Rh-negative was comparable with finding of different similar studies. To reduce Rh incompatibility-related HDN, the government should educate mothers and encourage them as they follow ANC facilities and after delivery to health facilities.

“…HDFN can rarely be caused by ABO incompatibility, often less severe than Rh incompatibility 7 , when the mother and fetus have different ABO blood types resulting in maternal antibodies against the fetus’s erythrocytes. This type of incompatibility is most common in mothers having type-O blood group with a fetus that has A, B, or AB blood group; the IgG antibody is responsible for this condition.…”

The ABO and D antigen status of red blood cells (Rh blood grouping systems) are important hematological classification systems that categorize blood groups according to the presence or absence of certain erythrocytic antigens. These antigens affect the outcomes of blood transfusions as well as various hematological and immunological diseases. We aimed to study ABO and Rh blood group distribution among pregnant women visiting the antenatal care clinic at Jordan University Hospital (JUH) in Amman, Jordan. A retrospective analysis of all pregnant women delivering at the Jordan University Hospital (JUH) between October 1, 2016, and September 31, 2021. ABO and D antigen status of red blood cells (Rh blood groups) were summarized and documented. 20,136 pregnant women data were analyzed, the O blood group was the most prevalent (n = 7840, 38.9%), followed by A (n = 7506, 37.3%). For the D antigen status, the Rh-positive (Rh+) category was the most common (n = 18,159, 90.2%). For the (O) blood group; O-Rh+ type was the most prevalent (90.1%). Determining the blood group type accurately helps eliminate the critical consequences of both ABO and Rh incompatibility and offers clinicians an opportunity to take timely prophylactic measures. In our analyses O and Rh+ blood groups were the most prevalent.

Background Transplacental or fetomaternal hemorrhage (FMH) may occur during pregnancy or at delivery and lead to immunization to the D antigen if the mother is Rh-negative and the baby is Rh-positive. This can result in hemolytic disease of the fetus and newborn (HDFN) in subsequent D-positive pregnancies. Therefore, the aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to estimate distribution of ABO and Rh (D) blood groups among pregnant women in Ethiopia. Method We searched PubMed, Google Scholar, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, HINARI, AFRO Library Databases, and African Online Journal databases for all available studies using the following keywords: “High rhesus (Rh(D)) negative frequency”, “ABO blood group distribution”, “haemolytic disease of the newborn (HDN)”, “rh isoimmunization”, “anti-RhD immunoglobulin”, “D-negative pregnancies”, “Frequency”, “ABO and Rh blood group distribution”, “feto-maternal hemorrhage”, “rhesus D negative pregnant mothers”, “kleihauer-betke test (KBT)”, “Neonatal Hyperbilirubinemia”, “non-sensitized RhD-negative pregnant women”, “antenatal anti-D immunoglobulin prophylaxis”, “Hemolytic disease of the newborn (alloimmunization), Ethiopia. The search string was developed using “AND” and “OR” Boolean operators. All published and unpublished observational studies reporting the distribution of ABO and Rh (D) blood groups among pregnant women in Ethiopia were included. The study participants were all pregnant women in Ethiopia, and the main outcome measure of this systematic review and meta-analysis was Rhesus D-negative blood type and ABO blood group distribution among pregnant women in Ethiopia. The data was extracted by the author (AAA) by using a standardized JBI data extraction format. Microsoft Excel (2016), and Stata version 11.0 (Stata Corporation, College Station, Texas, USA) software were used for data entry and analysis, respectively. The random effect model was used for estimating the pooled effects, and the publication bias was assessed by visual inspection of the funnel plots and objectively by using the Egger’s test (i.e. p < 0.05). Results One hundred thirty-two articles were identified through electronic database searching. Of which, 34 were excluded due to duplication, 65 through review of titles and abstracts, and 22 full-text articles were excluded for not reporting the outcome variable and other reasons. Finally, 7 were included to estimate the distribution of ABO and Rh (D) blood groups among pregnant women in Ethiopia. The pooled distribution of Rh-negative blood group among pregnant women in Ethiopia was 10.8% (95%CI: 7.53–14.07, I2 = 85%, p < 0.001). In the ABO system, type O was the most prevalent 39.9% (37.51–42.38), followed by A (30.59% (26.00–35.18)), B (23.04% (20.03–26.05)), and AB the least (4.82%(3.17–6.47)), in the pattern O > A > B > AB. Conclusion The pooled distribution of Rh-negative blood group among pregnant women in Ethiopia was high. Rh alloimmunization remains a major factor responsible for perinatal morbidity in Ethiopia and may result in the compromise of the woman’s obstetric care due to the unaffordability of anti-D immunoglobulin. There is the urgent need for the implementation of universal access to anti-D immunoglobulin for the Rh-negative pregnant population in Ethiopia.
